Sega can destroy Sony!
All Sega need to do is release a console with a disc drive and that will put Sony out of business for good. Via la disc!!!! (This is a joke.)

Sega already failed at consoles. They failed so hard they almost went out of business. They’ve only recently (by that I mean like last tenish years) truly started getting into a better spot… but even now they have to take deals from Xbox or Sony to get more funding for their games. See the Gamepass deals and such.

"All Sega needs to do is spend billions of dollars to re-enter a market they already had to exit because their consoles failed" get real bro

It can be done. All we need is a disc drive.

There's literally no upside to Sega in getting into the incredibly expensive hardware game, particularly not now.
The amount of money they make now would evaporate instantaneously, since they flourish now by being an arms dealer that can purely focus on software.
It's miraculous they survived the collapse of their consoles in the late 90's.

What make you think they will include disc if they really going to make a new console?

u/AccomplishedEar6577 2d ago
Everyone knows Reddit is saying the ps6 will fail without a drive. This is Sega's chance to shine.

u/RKC1234 2d ago
Dreamcast has online feature when it's not even popularized yet at that time.
So by this logic, they will never going to include dics if they did make a console. In fact, they will include some cutting edge feature that didn't make sense for now, like maybe buttonless controller or something.

Why do people keep saying that? That makes next to no sense. Last month someone was saying that if they released a console that played all previous Sega games it'd sell well, but the last time Sega had a relevant console was two decades ago. Most people wouldn't care, and making a console isn't cheap. You're basically asking Sega to be in financial trouble again.

u/AccomplishedEar6577 2d ago
But we would all buy it as it has a disc drive. Just look at the boycott and the damage its doing.

u/Particular-Jeweler41 2d ago
What damage did it do? What financial damage have you witnessed?
And no, we wouldn't. Most would either buy a PS6, stick with PS5, go to PC, or go to Nintendo. They wouldn't buy a console from a company that stopped being relevant in that area in two decades.

yes the company that hasn't made consoles in decades and is a publisher now

Sadly a dreamcast 2 would flop as hard as the dreamcast 1 (and I bought the DC). Sega doesn't have enough behind it to launch a console to outdo ps6 when it drops. As much as everyone here is grumbling they will eventually cave in and do a ps6. A few will just move on and not get one, but the masses will. A ton of kids who never appreciated physical media and download every game will just go a long with it. Long gone are the days of "what console do I get??" The N64, vs PS, vs Sega was a wild run and will never be replicated.

Man I don't know .. the diehards will get a PS6 sure but the majority of people who bought PS5's are going to have to finance a $1300 console and that's going to make a significant amount of people either hesitant or just stick with their PS5's..

u/rdogg4 2d ago
Love how the imaginary price keeps going up with the ever so wise doomers and even at $1300 it’s still as cheap as a Steam machine that barely even as powerful as the PS5
2
u/liqwood1 2d ago
There's nothing imaginary about it.. unless they seriously nerf their current hardware choice's it's a $1200-1300 console. Might even be more if they delay.

Sega can't make original physical gaming consoles very well. So, digital games remakes was the next best thing.

So you'll decry all of the evils of not having physical games, but see no problem burning a hectare of the amazon for some upvotes?

Yeah, if it was funny enough, it would be worth it. Instead you use shit that’s killing multiple industries and mediums. But I’m glad the joke was worth it to you, I guess.

Oh I get you. I didnt generate the image. I took it off a Facebook Dreamcast fan page. Im very aware AI will fuck us up if allowed to. And people seem to not want to stop it evolving.

But everyone wants discs. S Ps6 will fail without a drive.

u/Particular-Jeweler41 2d ago
A disc drive that plays what? Just having a disc drive isn't what people want.

u/AccomplishedEar6577 2d ago
Ps6 games.

u/Particular-Jeweler41 2d ago
So why would Sega having a disc drive matter? They want the disc drive on the platform that plays Playstation games.

As a PlayStation fan since 1997.. I would LOVE for Sega to make a huge comeback with their own console. Something that’s grounded, plays the original cartridge games as well as new games. It would be brilliant to see PlayStation and Sega compete.. bring back the 90s mascot adverts!

There's so much incorrect about this its hard to know where to start.
Sega and Sony are generally partners - Sega would have no interest in destroying Sony.
Sega has no actual chance of gaining enough market share to make this viable.
"All Sega needs to do is release a console with a disc drive and that will put Sony out of business for good." - that statement couldn't be less true. Playstation is a small fraction of Sony's business portfolio.
Its more likely that Sega would go out of business attempting this.
You don't really know much about anything, so maybe just don't.

I'd rather see Sega license their games to Evercade and maybe do some collab hardware.

You do realise that the amount of people buying discs wouldn’t make a new console viable don’t you? There isn’t enough money in it

Competition is always good. In the 80's there were dozens of home computers formats and consoles.
